Tomorrow afternoon the second of
the lectures by Mr. Carter and Mr
Mercer will be given in Villard Hall
The chief features of the preliminaries
of this meeting will be a couple of se
lections by the Glee Club. The subject
cf the discussion which will be handled
by both Carter and Mercer, is "Battle
Grounds of Student Life”.
The addresses of the men on this sub
ject have been commented on more fre
quently and more favorably than any
other talks they give. Many of the prac
tical problems that every college man is
concerned with will be discussed and
the experience of both speakers in hun
dreds of colleges and universities
throughout this country and other coun
tries will be drawn upon for a carefui
and comprehensive treatment of those
things that concern every man so vi
tally.
Mr. E. C. Carter, who with Mr. Mer

M. C. A., was called upon for brief re
marks, and told of the great interets
on the coast in the lectures of Mercer
and Carter. President Campbell res
ponded to a demand for remarks and
expressed his appreciation of the efforts
of the Y. M. C. A. and Mr. Carter and
Mr. Mercer in particular, to establish
a higher intellectual and moral tone
among the students of the universities
throughout the country. He voiced his
hearty approval of the lectures that are
to be heard here and called upon the
men present to help in making the most
of this opportunity. Mr. Carter was in
troduced and immediately made good
with the bunch by the delicate manner in
which he handled a reference to a cer
tain "institution, unnameable in this por
tion of the state". He told briefly but
effectively of the advances that are being
made by the Association in the great
in titutions of the country and of the
growing appreciation of the work that
is being expressed, quoting such men as
Mr Howard Elliott of the Great Nor
th rn and P'res. Northrop of Minne
sota, University.
Mr. Mercer is a speaker of fluency and
for fulness, clear and convincing and
understands how to make his points and
dri ■ them in. The men of Oregon

WRESTLERS H FEA1URE
Men Are Working Out Daily at
Mat Game
I lie plans for the annual inter-class
indoor meet, to be held March 11, are
i being well carried out. From the num
ber and class of prospective entries, the
wrestling promises to be the most in •
teresting feature. John Kelly is en
tered in the bantam weight, and will
undoubtedly take his event. Kelly is
showing great form this year, and it is
reported that he will go to Portland to
take part in a coming meet to he held
under the auspices of the Multnomah
Cluh.
Part of the football men are out
practicing the tumbling game with their
usual football spirit, and promise to
make things interesting in the heavy
weight division. A number of prom
ising middleweights are entering for the
tryout.
Tt has not yet been decided whethei
the men from different classes will be
matched, or a man picked from each
weight without regard to class.
IthirdToorIIersed
Basketball Game Leads to Reck
less Bathing
The third floor basketball team of the
dormitory went wet this morning by a
23 to 7 majority. The piratical insignia
worn by the second floor team fright
ened the team work out of Kronie’s co
horts, and it is to this, not to superior
playing, that victory is attributed.
The first half ended 15 to 0 in favor
of the second story men. Captain Kro
nerberg, "the hope of the German race,"
was unable to participate throughout
the entire contest. The fever, however,
| that raged before the game, gradually
j settled to his feet, and when these ex
| tremities wramed sufficiently, Kronie
! faced sylph-like Bailey in the thirty-inch
I circle.
Two well filled tubs awaited the re
turn of the vanquished, who were lit
I erally swept off their feet by the hos
! pit dde second floor men. Considerable
moisture was diffused during the pro
cess, but as yet no cases of insanity are
reported to have resulted.
The Kappa Sigma Freshmen were ai
home to 1914 at a smoker last night
Boxing, smoking and singing were the
features.

1. GALLOWAY WORKS
10 RAISE STUDENT FUND
AMOUNT NOW AVAILABLE
IS NEARLY
$5,000
Alumni Association Has Set
$25,000 M"«rk, Which It Hopes
to Reach this Year.
Mr. Francis V. Galloway, '07, who has
been acting as special agent for the
Alumni Association to increase the Stu
dent Loan Fund. In the two weeks
th.it Mr. Galloway was in the field, he
secured about $2,000, all of which wdl
be available before the end of the pres
1 ent year. One donor, who wishes his
| name withheld, is making a gift of
i $1,000, and Senator R. A. Booth will add
$500 to the $500 he has already in the
j fund. Mr. W. B. Ayer has given $100.
These contributions bring thvaeail
These contributions bring the availa
ble loan fund up to the total of $5,223.30,
Inti the demand far exceeds this amount.
The student loans are handled through
the office of the Secretary of the Board
of Regents, who accounts for them as
! for other college funds. Student appii
' cations for the money must he signed
by some responsible person and ap
proved by two faculty members
No student may borrow more than
$100 for each year of attendance at the
University.
At present the money is divided into
live special funds, donated by William
Ladd, of Portland, A. S. Roberts, of
1 The Dalles, John Kelly, of Eugene, and
in the names of D. T. Thompson, Dr.
; Thomas Condon, R. A. Booth, John
Kelly, and the Alumni Association;
Mr. Galloway is for the time being
at his home in McMinnville, but after
the excitement incident to the legisla
tive situation has subsided Mr. Galloway
will take the field again, and hopes by
spring to raise the fund to the $25,00(1
mark set by the Association.
TRACK MEN MUST WORK
At the beginning of the second semes
ter, Trainer Hayward plans to give over
an hour each day in the gym to track
men.
Each man who intends to try out in the
spring will be expected to come out an:
take exercise to put him in coriditior
for his event.
By doing this. Bill hopes to have hi1
men in much better condition than us
ual at the opening of the season anc
will not have such a handicap to over
come in competing with those college!
that have better facilities.

the faculty of the Broadway Higl
School, of Seattle, is visiting at th

SENIORS SHOW LITTLE
ZEAL IN CROSS COUNTRY
—
As backetball holds the center of the
stage, little interest lias been shown so
far concerning the inter-class cross
country run. which is scheduled for Feb
ruary 22nd. Only two prospective run
ners are training regul :rly—McGuire,
'll. and McClure, '13.
It is expected that each class will tun.
out a good sized squad as soon .as the
heaviest ex m work is over. As each
class's te :m is limited to live men. there
vill probably be sharp competition for
"daces, especially among the Freshmen,
as there is an abundance of material in
the green cap brigade.
Captains of the teams, as selected y
Trainer Hayward, are, McCuirc, 'll.
Walls, ‘12, McClure, '13, and Miller, '14.
Prospects for full teams are good, ex
cept with the 1911 class, in which there
is a, dearth of distance runners. Me
'jtt're will be the only Senior entry, ac
cording to present prospects.
J. D. AT LAST ARRIVES
Oregonian Offers Versatile Edi
tor Position on Staff
I hat the newspaper world's opinion
of 1 >c n Collins as a paper man is fa
vorable, is shown by the fact that the
managing editor of the Oregonian has
recently offered him a position as re
porter, either to he accepted now or
after he secures his Master's degree
from Oregon. Collins chose the lat
ter alternative.
I his line of work is not new to Col
lins. For several years he worked with
the Folk County Observer, at Dallas,
Oregon, and edited the same for two
years. 'I bis year, as editor of the Ore
gon Monthly, he has built up the stand
rd of ih t magazine to a height it has
lever known before. As editor of the
Ibserver, his editorials were frequently
copied by other papers, including the
Oregonian, which commented favorably
on them, and now offers the writer a
position on its staff.

BY VERY LARGE SCORE
63 TO 7 TELLS TALE OF
RELATIVE MERITS
OF TEAMS
Next G">me Will be With Portage
Quintet. Sophomores Finally
Get Laraw y Trophy Cup
The Varsity quintet of basketball toss
ers hast night smothered Pacific's aspira
tions by a score of 63 to 7. The first
halt ended 40 to 6, but the second team
which was sent in in the last half was
un hie to keep up the pace for as mauv
o s .■ s were made in the first sec
tion.
Captain Jamison and Fenton scored
almost at will, making twelve and ten
baskets respectively.
After it became evident that Pacific's
chances were nil. the Varsity tried out
new team plays exclusively, and worked
them with startling regularity. Pacific
put up a good game as far as hard
work was concerned, but were unable
to keep the ball in their end of the
court for any length of time.
Simms, the new Varsity find, showed
up p rticularly well in breaking the ball
loose from the mix and advancing it
| down the held. Elliott, however, had
I the better luck of the two guards, in
| locating the basket, scoring live in the
I time in which lie played.
Shaver, Pacific's captain, was the only
one of the visitors able to locate the
basket, and he scored all of Pacific's
points.
The first lineup was as follows:
Pacific
Shaver (capt)
Bryant
Berryman

Will Play Fast Portage Team
The next gone for the Varsity will
he with the famous Co. F team, of Port
age, Wisconsin, which writes A. A. U.
champions of the United States after
its n me. I he date has not yet been set,
as the advance man of the militia quintet
has not yet arrived in Eugene. The
soldiers tire on a Western tour and will
pass through Eugene next week and
will stop off to play the Varsity on
their way south.
Three of the men, Swenholt, Shep
pard and Harper, arc graduates of the
; University of Wisconsin, where they
starred in collegiate games. The Port
age team recently defeated the Meteors,
of Chicago, by the decisive score of 29
to !4. Basketball fans will remember
! the visit of the Meteors to the Coast
1 several years ago.
| The Dallas “Oregons” played two
games with the Co. F team on its East
ern tour, and won both contests.
| Just what the Varsity will be able to
do against such an aggregation of stars
is a matter of much conjecture, as the
little tryout against Pacific was but a
, I nor means of finding out what the lem -
on yellow quintet has in store. Fenton
says the military five is made up of big,
■ husky fellows, who play a fast game,
I and the contest with Oregon should fur
nish its quota of excitement.
Sophs Win Laraway Cup
The final game for the Laraway cup
was played between the Sophs and the
Juniors, and resulted in the former win
ning by a score of 13 to 6. I he much
tied series was finished and "Hippo"

body, made the presentation speech from
